Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has dismissed reports that he had led a group of players to the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to replace Younis Khan as captain with Shahid Afridi.

Appearing on a popular talk show on the Geo Super channel, Malik also denied he had led any campaign to have Younus replaced as captain.

"Yes I did meet with the board Chairman but I never suggested to him to replace Younis nor supported the appointment of Afridi. That is not my job and you don't change captains on minor issues. If we have any problems I can talk to Younis myself," he said.

"They are minor issues but we solve them and we support each other. I know all the players back the captain as well. They are absolutely no groupings in the team. We are a like a unit," he said.

Media reports and statements by Younus and Afridi had indicated that after the team returned home from the Champions Trophy, Malik had led a group of players to the PCB chairman and conveyed they didn't want Younus to continue as captain.

Malik said neither he nor any player of the team was bothered by allegations or groupings or match fixing as these only surfaced when the team lost.
